Create and send customer statements in QuickBooks Online
by Intuit•394• Updated 3 weeks ago
Learn how to send statements to show customers summaries of their invoices, payments, credits, and balances.
When customers have outstanding balances or invoices that will soon be overdue, you can send them a customer statement. These are gentle, detailed reminders about upcoming deadlines.
There are three types of customer statements in QuickBooks. If your sub-customers are marked Bill parent customer, you can create a statement for the parent customer and it will show all invoices for both the parent and the sub-customer.
However, if a sub-customer is not billed to the parent, you can’t create a statement for the sub-customer.
